More acoustic Cargo Cult science:

Very funny-- kind of like a British MythBusters. But, unlike the MythBusters, not very scientific.

Where to start? The frequency is supposed to be sub-sonic, so "turn down your TV"... assuming you're on a home theatre system and your TV has subwoofers. And the sound is supposed to resonate with the digestive system, so they wear earphones to protect themselves-- that'll work great. Also, the sound they played sounds like it's in the low-midrange, not subsonic at all.

As they say over there across the pond: complete bollocks.
